Description-en: Trivial file transfer protocol server
Tftpd is a server which supports the Internet Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(RFC 783). The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in the `tftp'
service description; see services(5). The server is normally started by
inetd(8).
Tftpd is not suitable for use with the PXE bootloader; for that,
use atftpd or tftpd-hpa.
